LouJones

Friedlander and modernized by a new wave of photographs such as Alex Webb, Martin Parr, and Constantine Manos. Street photography is an active art form where the objective is to see and react to life around you.

There are many things to consider every time you point a camera at something. It is like juggling. Besides shutter speed and aperture, you are balancing light, composition, momentum and emotion. You must also deal with the de facto “war on street photography”. Street photography is a wonderful tradition, but suspicious minds attach some kind of perversion to it.

Using examples photographed around the world, Lou Jones will describe his personal journey in defining a methodology for street photography. He will share a developed lexicon that can be used when taking photographs of strangers in alien environments, including how to address the rules and laws when confronting new subjects. The presentation will deal with comportment, equipment, technique and expectations. Jones will also address common barriers such as language, protocol and hostility when engaging new friends.

Jones will take you shooting and teach you techniques like how to properly observe, work fast, stay conscious of backgrounds, and find a photograph in every situation. Students will be able to show their photographs for review.
